Benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty rebounded in early trade on Friday after facing a massive drubbing in the previous session, driven by a mild cooling in crude oil prices.
The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 976.77 points to 75,184.01 in early trade, while the 50-share NSE Nifty surged 301.7 points to 23,303.85.
Among the Sensex firms, Tata Steel, State Bank of India, Tech Mahindra, Larsen & Toubro, Power Grid and NTPC were among the major gainers. HDFC Bank emerged as the only laggard.
Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.63 per cent to USD 106.9 per barrel.
“Today, there is potential for the market to move up as hopes of de-escalation have returned. Israel PM’s remarks yesterday indicated that there won’t be further attacks on Iran’s oil and gas infrastructure. This has cooled Brent crude to USD 106 from its peak of USD 118 yesterday,” V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, said.
In Asian markets, South Korea's benchmark Kospi and Shanghai’s SSE Composite index were trading higher, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was quoting lower.
The US market ended in negative territory on Thursday.
“Recent signals from the US and Israel indicating a possible de-escalation in the Iran conflict have brought some relief to global markets. This has led to a mild cooling in crude oil prices and supported a relatively stable opening across Asian indices,” Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth-tech firm, said.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 7,558.19 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs), however, bought stocks worth Rs 3,863.96 crore.
On Thursday, the Sensex tanked 2,496.89 points, or 3.26 per cent — its biggest single-day plunge since June 2024 — to settle at 74,207.24. The Nifty tumbled 775.65 points, or 3.26 per cent, to end at 23,002.15.
